    I have the same visceral reaction when people refer to trans women as “a trans” or “a transwoman”, same goes for trans men

    I do, however, love “doll”

      I get that. I wouldn’t mind “doll” as just an old timey word for women in general, but as a word for trans women it doesn’t feel right.

        I understood “doll” to be a word that trans women call each other, which I like. I would not like being called doll by someone other than a trans woman.
